Designing InnoVative plant teams for Ecosystem Resilience and agricultural Sustainability

Plant Trait and Agronomic Data e-Infrastructure and Help Desk

The open data publication e-infrastructure will be developed following the interoperability framework (Task 5.1) and will be based on Agroknow’s AKSTEM service to support registration of plant trait and agronomic datasets. The data publication e-infrastructure will include a help-desk service to support any interested data provider for publishing its plant trait and agronomic data.

M3 model as a prototype tool for predicting performance of innovative plant teams.

A novel mechanistic model, the Minimalist Mixture Model (M3) will be developed as a process-based model to describe the biomass and yield of plant teams to serve as a prototype tool to evaluate the performance of innovative plant teams

Meta-analysis and visualisation tools

The datasets published by the Data Publication e-Infrastructure (Task 5.2) will be summarized by means of existing statistical tools, specifically meta-analysis and structural equation modelling. A web-based visual analytics system (developed using the Open Source GWT development toolkit) based on the JHI Germinate platform (https://ics.hutton.ac.uk/germinate) will be developed to make the results of the meta-analysis publically available.

Plant Trait and Agronomic Data Ingestion Workflow and API Gateway

A data ingestion, transformation, cleaning, enrichment and linking workflow will be developed to allow semi-automated and periodic data source processing in order to publish them in machine readable formats and expose them using standard programmable interfaces.

Speak Out training resources

An online training resource will be developed by LEAF and TAL to accompany training sessions at the consortium meetings for all key researchers to help embed the importance of good communication. The training will include videos, animations, information, tasks and tools that will be available on the DIVERSify video platform accessed via www.plant-teams.eu.

Synthesis report on national stakeholder meetings

A report synthesising the findings from national stakeholder workshop consultations, identifying strategies and best practice for cropping plant teams to inform work in WP2, WP3 and WP4.

Standardised protocols in key languages

Specific protocols and defined terminology for data gathering will be created at the project outset for core partners and participatory farmers in liaison with all WPs. Standardised protocols, data capture and data licensing formats will be made available and disseminated in key languages.

Report on practical restrictions imposed by plant teams

A report on perceived or realised practical restrictions imposed by plant teams will be prepared from analysis of a short questionnaire prepared by WP4 for completion by practitioners involved in WP1 (Task 1.1).

EIP-Practice Abstracts 3

Practice Abstracts will be produced at several time points focussing on case studies of best practice (with regional translations), summarising the key messages and practical advice in language adapted to target groups using the EIP-AGRI common format.

Communication plan for liaising with CPs and PFs

WP4 Leaders will liaise with WP1 and WP6 to develop a communication plan for using the buddy system to work with project PFs, overseeing PF field trials, managing data delivery, and responding to/directing queries about project participation.

Handbook of protocols to assess traits in plant teams

To meet data quality standards, all experimental measurements of plant traits and agronomic performance will be synchronised across years and locations by means of shared experimental protocols. The protocols will be developed iteratively with WP4 and WP5 for purposes of data management and use (in WP5). A first version of the protocol to be applied in year 1 trials will be based on the collated experience of WP2 partners, following standard monitoring protocols for target traits and performance parameters. This protocol will be developed further each year, and a final assessment protocol will be published as a handbook for stakeholders and agricultural researchers.

‘Trouble Shooting Matrix’ of PAT practical solutions

A ‘Trouble-Shooting Matrix’ for plant teams will be produced to highlight where given elements of machinery manufacture and/or PAT could theoretically or practically overcome production issues faced by combined species cropping. The matrix will allow gaps to be identified where solutions to plant team production problems do not currently exist.

Summary report and scientific manuscript on mechanisms underpinning beneficial plant associations based on APSIM and Daisy model simulations.

Summary report and scientific manuscript on mechanisms underpinning beneficial plant associations based on APSIM and Daisy model simulations. To facilitate applications beyond the project, the information will be summarised in the form of resource use efficiencies, deconstructed into their key elements (crop, resource availability, resource uptake, yield production per resource uptake), based on the data collation in WP2 and the predictive simulation of Daisy and APSIM.

Report: socio-economic factors affecting plant team adoption

A report on the socio-economic factors affecting adoption of plant teams by farmers in Europe, Kenya and Palestine to inform regional policy priorities for future peer-reviewed publication.

Summary report of key mechanisms promoting performance of plant teams

A summary report will be prepared to report on the mechanisms underpinning synergistic plant-plant interactions, examined in small-scale experiments to validate the efficacy of the Ecological Approach.

Policy guide on plant teams

The key findings from science and stakeholder responses in the stakeholder consultation workshops (Task 1.1) will be summarised in a policy document for dissemination through partners’ organisational links with national policy-makers. It will conclude on the potential for optimal plant teams to enhance industry competitiveness and reduce environmental impacts, and include reference to barriers to uptake and activities/policies that could increase plant team implementation.

EIP-Practice Abstracts 2

Summary report on performance of stakeholder-driven plant teams V2

Field trials established at research and stakeholder sites will be assessed for the range of plant trait and performance parameters (Task 2.1), in addition to regionally relevant pest species, nutrient use efficiency and total biomass-per-area (at relevant developmental stages). The data will be summarised as a final report on the performance of stakeholder plant teams.

Report on standards & protocols for plant trait and agronomic data

An agronomic review of methods used in existing datasets will be conducted to document interoperability requirements, namely data types, formats, sources/databases, knowledge organisation schemes and relevant standards, specifications and protocols for plant trait and agronomic data collection to ensure uniformity of data and reliability of the outcome in the decision aid. The outcomes of the reviews will be provided in a summary report.

EIP-Practice Abstracts 1

Farmer guide on plant teams

A technique manual/user manual for advisors and farmers for decision making on plant teams adapted to local conditions will be developed alongside the PlanDS decision aid (in WP5).

Conference presentations on the Ecological Approach for crop improvement

Final results on optimized plant team performance will be synthesized (with WP3) and presented in stakeholder workshops and international scientific conferences, demonstrating and documenting the Ecological Approach to breeders, agronomists and seed companies.

Plant and trait database V3

A comprehensive database of crop traits in monocultures and plant teams will be created and assembled based on existing and newly collected data. Trait data will be collated for all cereal, legume, herb and grassland species that are currently utilised in plant teams across Europe, as well as species with identified potential for innovative plant teams. The database will be expanded using existing datasets of partners and experimental work during the project as the data become available.

Decision Aid: PlanDS

A web-based and mobile phone-friendly decision aid, ‘PlanDS: Plants Decision System’, will be co-designed, developed and tested with agricultural practitioners (agronomists, advisors) to interrogate the datasets produced and collated by the project.

Mini documentaries 2

A series of short ‘subject’ documentaries, which could highlight specific plant teams, programme themes or location profiles will be taken. These short films will be delivered at at several time points and ultimately combined into an eye-catching feature mini-documentary.
